GIS BASED LAND USE LAND COVER CHANGE ASSESSMENT OF ISLAMABAD, CAPITAL TERRITORY USING GOOGLE EARTH ENGINE

Abstract

Geographic Information Systems (GIS) has mainly two components, first one is the front end interface mapping and second one is the data base. Google earth engine provide us a cloud computing platform which helps to use the direct access of mapping and coding
without downloading the maps and other components. Google earth engine is cloud computing platform which provides online access to the concern data directly rather than down loading. GIS maps based data are online available on google earth engine to access through java script coding. Through concern java script coding, we can extract the satellite data via GIS from the google earth engine. Through these satellite data we can generate maps and information base tables through the CVS excel files as per requirements. We have used the Landsat satellite data through the google earth engine.
